Yes, but this is making it harder to kill than usual T series, not to mention there is an autocannon washing your face
The firepower is not so strong, even can be weaker than usual T series when facing MBTs, but its survivability makes it different.
When predicting its BR, I said 10.3, just same as gaijin. but that time, I didn’t realize it’s high survivability facing low br tanks’ low pen APFSDS, and great efficiency against light tanks which are most common around this br
also, for more skilled players, they can using just autocannon to get many kills, by break a moving MBT’s track and make it turn, then shoot its side armor. BMPT’s high survivability makes this skill more operatable than BMPs
Honestly, I’m just really surprised Gaijin not only gave Russia 2 BMPT’s, but that neither of them are event vehicles, and one is even in the tech tree. I can’t tell if that is bias, or growth as a company?
The ability for German players to throw games amazes me at times. Like bro you have the best mbt in game and some of the best runner ups to follow along side it. Plus all of the fairly decent support vehicles. Its only really gotten bad for me within the last few months too…
Agreed. Honestly I think I’ve doubled my nuke count since the release of the update all thanks to the BMPT. It’s an absolute monster against vehicles that have low pen darts and its autocannon just shreds side armor and modules so if you can’t pen right away, you can save yourself. Not to mention switching guns from a broken one has saved me multiple times.
I’ve lost all hope when it comes to gameplay reworks.
They seemingly would rather use their resources on adding a whole new branch of military than to invest additional resources on improving existing modes…
It was already extremely annoying to face due to its inconsistent damage-model (especially against APFSDS at the BR-Range), but now with the reload-buff, it should most definitely go up…
Well I suppose youre playing a different game to the rest of us then because unless you kill crew the BMPT is near impossible to kill, its ammo almost never detonates and good luck killing the crew in one shot consistently
And imo the Russian MBTs are by far the most annoying in game purely because theyre the only tanks I cant just look at and kill without aiming at a pinpoint frame thats 50/50 of actually working or getting hit by volumetreic and hitting that one spot of 1000mm of armor
And this alone makes them extremely powerful
Not to mention the carousel eating rounds that normally would detonate ammo, and the ammo being another 50/50 of actually killing the tank
Yep 100% agree. Everyone needs to be given equal ERA, whether that means nerfing soviet ERA to the point where it does nothing 90% of the time like on NATO tanks or buffing NATO ERA up to soviet levels.
This double standard of ignoring NATO Reports regarding ERA (like the dozen for OES/TES for example) whilst leaving soviet ERA capable of stopping Tandem warheads (actually report in for this from 8 months ago) is just frustrating.
